Sing me your song of addiction
Sing me your song of disease
Croon me your tune of affliction
My ears take it all in with ease
I have never known anything other
I have never tasted anything true
Gates to salvation couldn’t be further
Soul broken all the way through
Speak to me on why to vote in elections
Speak to me why to not steal
Politicians are walking speaking infections
Who call theft the ‘art of the deal’
Life is hard enough day to day already
Life hurts to the bone aching core
Here your rhetoric often turns deadly
Bother my neighborhood no more
